Installing RestEasy documentation is not clear--does maven install resteasy?

3.1. Standalone Resteasy
If you are using resteasy outside of JBoss AS 6, you will need to do a
few manual steps to install and configure resteasy. RESTeasy is
deployed as a WAR archive and thus depends on a Servlet container. We
strongly suggest that you use Maven to build your WAR files as
RESTEasy is split into a bunch of different modules. You can see an
example Maven project in one of the examples in the examples/
directory
Also, when you download RESTeasy and unzip it you will see a lib/
directory that contains the libraries needed by resteasy. Copy these
into your /WEB-INF/lib directory. Place your JAX-RS annotated class
resources and providers within one or more jars within /WEB-INF/lib or
your raw class files within /WEB-INF/classes.
Hi, is my confusion justified? I am using JBoss 5 unfortunately. Do I need to download RESTeasy and unzip it IF I am using Maven, as the documentation recommends?
Maven grabs all the dependencies that are needed to build a project, including the RESTEasy fraemwork, right? So why the contradiction here? Wish that the documentation would anticipate common questions and be written more clearly.
